  • Exceptional Podcast

    I am so grateful that through the wonders on the internet I located Richard’s exceptional Podcast. It is calming on choppy days, has been a good companion when a night feels lengthy - but has also has prompted further reading / listening / thinking. Not least returning to poetry, which I had got out of the habit of engaging with. For me, Ronald Blythe’s writing has a similar effect and Richard, like Blythe, beautifully articulates the precious inter-connectedness of this extraordinary universe. ... more

  • A wonderful listen

    I love this podcast. Soothing and interesting, like curling up with your favourite book. I actually don’t listen to it at night, but whilst making my artwork, and it’s the perfect accompaniment.

    There’s something of the air of escaping away to another world, even when Richard is talking of very real, earthly things (like the moving episode of Richard collecting his Father’s ashes). I feel whisked away to another time, and it helps me focus on my creative work. It’s like podcasts of old, where ... more

    Richard presents a fantastic podcast that is warm, caring, thought provoking and thoroughly enjoyable. I love to fall asleep listening to his wonderful voice and stories.

Well worth adding to your regular listening!

  • Soothing, informative, easy listening

    I have been listening to “Nighttime” as I call it since last November. Richard has the perfect voice, calming, informative so easy to listen to that you don’t want the episode to stop..but because it’s so perfect for listening to in bed I usually end up falling asleep so going to bed earlier is a habit now on a Sunday just to listen to the whole podcast…and to be honest I’ve done the back catalogue a few times on particularly favourite episodes… keep up the good work and hi to the horses.. from ... more
